There were many others from the mainstream media who rebelled and were forced to resign in purges.

Most, if not all turned against the establishment.

These are the sort of things done by the likes of Rahman Dahalan, Habibur Rahman and big time editors controlled by them which led me to write postings such as this one not long before the general election,

"KUALA LUMPUR: Utusan Malaysia may not last beyond this year, with staff being told that the Umno-linked paper would run out of funds as early as after the Hari Raya celebrations next month, as the daily struggles in the wake of Barisan Nasional’s recent polls defeat, FMT has learnt."

I have no problem with Utusan's political stance, but even the way it ran was very corrupt.

Welcome to join any party in PH. There is however missing only royal faction party for those who love the royals. Maybe Annie you can start one party to represent the royal interest to join PH. Don't depend on the previous UMNO anymore as too corrupt. But alas, without corruption, how do you control them right. hehehe...maybe it's time the royal faction join the center left in order for their interest to be protected. The constitution is protected, and doing things by the book to ensure prosperity for all...

Annie,It's not easy to be on the other side la, especially these UMNO guys who feel, yah still feel,it's their DIVINE RIGHT to rule.......Do you think they have the staying power to fight another war five years from now? As in the Chinese idiom "wok hsin chang dan"? What I see is just "lompat si katak lompat" even in the tiny state of Malacca, JKKK members are jumping ship all with "dengan syarat kalau dikekalkan......." sebagai....."

It is about time for those who are genuinely concerned about Malays to group together.UMNO is still relevant as it is the only Malay party that has the biggest number of seats in Parliament.Those who for UMNO for money have no reason to remain in UMNO.They can leave UMNO.Those who remain can start rebuilding UMNO.Prof Kangkung

Pass message to RPK.....his whiskies session with Razak Baginda is coming to an end.....mati la....Razak....mati.......could be sentence to death by hanging....Altantuya and her unborn baby seeking revenge......

Rumors that UMNO akan diharamkan soon, Perlis and Pahang will fall....the only racist left become the opposition party. Sarawak will come out from BN and become their own independent opposition party....

RD, I disagree. I think Tun is trying to promote Azmin whereas PKR is trying to stifle him by making him MB. Economic Minister will give Azmin a national profile and a chance to prove his mettle. I see this as Tun's way of grooming the next layer. Whether Azmin makes it or not is up to Azmin.

Anon 08:29, In S'gor he is a big fish in a sizeable pond. But it is still a pond. He needs experience at the national level if he ever aspires to be a PM. Economic Minister is a very senior portfolio. He has a chance to shape Msia' future, unless if he only wants to be jaguh kpg. That's allright too.

Not only are your views correct, but it seems that Azmin thinks so too:

"PKR vice-president and Seri Setia assemblyman Shaharuddin Badaruddin is touted to be the next Selangor mentri besar candidate, according to a source privy to the Pakatan Harapan (PH) Cabinet arrangement.

The former Universiti Selangor academic is the most likely replacement for current Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Azmin Ali who is said to have decided to take up the Economy Affairs Ministry portfolio in the federal government, the source added."

If the Malaysian economy does well in the next 5 years Azmin will be a step closer to being PM after Anwar.

But initially he is going to have a tough time.

He needs to rope in first class advisors, not the overpriced type like Najib chose.

Sungguh menggerunkan, if ever he becomes the PM. Kita keluar mulut rimau, masuk mulut NAGA. He never change. I just read blog CELAH-CELAH GELEGAR and also Ibnu Hsyim. Both bloggers seem to consider Anwar never change. Since thousands of people greeted him after hde walked out a free man, he got the delusion that WE Malaysia loves him! Sorry, If ever Tun Det is forced to step down by his 'slyness' - he should see PRU15 result. In MSO blog, he has already spread the news, "kononnya Najib call him ajak dia join force". But as a hero, he rejected the offer!!!!And MSO said, how novel of him!!!!HAHAHA.

IMO, next pm after Tun (under ph govn) has to be from pkr, it is just a matter of who. Otherwise there will be revolt. Regarding anwar, maybe it is better we get to see him in action before ge15 (after tun's 2 yr tenure). That way we know who to vote for in ge15.

Am not a fan of Anwar. Never liked him when he was in the cabinet before, didn't like him during reformasi days & the only reason I voted ph is because govn will be led by tun even if it is only for 2 yrs (insyallah). But almost all in pkr worships anwar :( . What to do?

You don't need to speak in English to be Defense Minister. Understanding what people around you are conversing in the language is good enough.As long as you can make people understand what you're trying to convey, that's good enough.

Therefore, Mat Sabu should just do as the Japanese or Chinese Ministers, speak in his native tongue. Kedah slang, also OK. No reason to be shy at all.

As a matter of fact, the most important criteria of being the Defense Minister is the ability to make bold and decisive actions. The Lahad Datu intrusion is a case in point.

Immediately after knowing that a band of heavily armed foreigners had landed on your shores and before they could build-up a stronghold, the Defense Minister then, should have ordered the Air-force to carpet-bomb the area as to annihilate them. Hence taking away the risk of endangering our boys in eliminating them. Good for real-life target practice for the Air-force too.

Hi friends,Najib will be lock up after giving statement to MACC next week.They will asked him why and what purpose 2.6 billions goes into his account and also 42 millions from SRC international. The Singh lawyer representing Najib already rehearsing with Najib the answer....says it's Arab donation and to fight ISIS as thank you to Malaysia. They will finally reveal the name of the Arab.....

Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin said that no seat, including the party’s top post currently held by acting president Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi should be considered sacred, as it was this practice that was one of the reasons behind Umno’s devastating defeat in GE14.

“Oh, no, no, no, no, we cannot have this no contest rule anymore in Umno. I mean, you know... you are sending a bad message to the public. I disagree if there are any posts not being contested. I’m happy that people support me but any positions for myself or anyone else must be contested.

“I think this no-contest business is one of the reasons why people lost faith in us in the first place. It looked like we don’t provide the democratic space for our members. We better stop this nonsense of no-contest business,” said Khairy.
